Building our First Building
Our first building on the corner of Highland Avenue at Lanier Place consisted of one large room
upstairs that was used for a church auditorium, seating 225–250 people in opera seats.
Classrooms were downstairs. The building was intended to be the Education building for a
permanent church on this site.
“Perhaps our greatest need at the present is a suitable Church plant large enough to
accommodate our congregation. Every Sunday a large portion of our congregation must be
seated in extra chairs. We now have 1,189 members. Our architect has finished plans, working
drawings, and specifications for our new building.”
